Enhance your tour by adding Seatrek or Snuba underwater adventures, exclusively available at De Palm Island. They have half day for $75 p/p and full day tours for $99 p/p. Even though its safe and well guided by the professional guides of De Palm, it's not advisable for people with back problems or pregnant women.

Surinam Airways recently started its direct flights from Aruba to Paramaribo- Suriname. The flight was launched on January 5th and they have already introduced some competitive packages to the public. The flight is once a week, every Friday and leaves at 5:00 PM. The plane used is a MD 11 that carries 14 passengers in first class and 127 in coach. Their main purpose is to attract the European market that's known for their interest in dual destinations. 

BonaireExel recently announced the launching of 10 additional flights to Aruba. The company, which started its services last year between the ABC islands are very happy with the results. They will have two flights daily and they are also planning to add flights to both Venezuela and St. Maarten. They operate two ATR42 turboprop aircraft, each equipped with 46 seats. A 50-seat jet of the type Embraer145 will be added shortly.
